Several speakers are lined up and all who were affected are invited are invited to please come and share your story. There will be refreshments available after the service. All are invited to come out and show your support for this community. Due to wet and cold weather the refreshments will be served following the ceremonies at Pekin United Methodist Church.

Salem High School is going to be offering a Lion Locker to the students of Salem. This project was taken on by the Community Service Club who saw a need that this type of store could benefit the students of SHS. The Lion Locker will consist of a variety of donated clothes, shoes, and other products that the students of Salem could benefit from having. Once the Lion Locker is up and running students will be able to go into the room and get things that they need or that their immediate family could benefit from at no cost.
